Thanks goes out to Mdm Samm of Sew We Quilt and Mary of I Piece 2-Mary
Also to our sponsor Clothworks.
Well, today’s my day and it’s also the first day of the hop. Lots of pressure and I didn’t handle it well. lol
So here’s the question. Have you ever had an idea in your mind and have it be fabulous, then have it totally bomb on you?
It started off right and priming it up all went well.
My vision for this crow just didn’t turn right. What was going on in my head I couldn’t get it out.
Just have to put it out there and close my eyes and wince. lol
So I here I go………
I made this crow with a pattern from Olde Homestead Barn. The pattern from Olde Homestead Barn is really a wonderful design. It’s really easy to make I just didn’t do well with it, I don’t think mine looks as good as the pattern. But my boys say it smells really great of spices and coffee. They wanted me to tell you that the great smells count for something. lol
Thanks for stopping by. Here is today’s list. There are so much talent out there and I’m looking forward to seeing everybody’s projects. I promise my next blog hop project will be so much better!
Not to worry, I knew right off it was a crow so can’t be all that.bad. You did fine, I said so. 🙂

I love the crow. You, like me, are way to hard on yourself. Your boys are hoots! I don’t know how old they are, but they are priceless and keepers for sure. You have done a good job with them. Thank you for participating and being an inspiration. I hope to see you in future hops.

The only thing wrong with your crow that I can see is the beak. Other than that I think it is fantastic.

Bombs are a way of making us more humble. Tell the boys that smells are important; I can almost smell the coffee from here. (Just don’t tell them I happen to be having a cuppa right now. lol)

There is nothing wrong with this—it is primitive and that means it is often not in proportion. Bless you for sharing even though your vision did not match what YOU thought the output should be. Who has not had that happen? I can tell you are raising some loving and caring boys by giving their mom such an encouraging word when she was down.
